Life on Mars

[tiggz]

i just watched the first episode of Life on Mars. i'm definitely intrigued. i actually dled it a while back without knowing a thing about it. i just knew people whose tv opinions usually mirrored mine were squeeing about it. i was expecting a sci-fi show and maybe it will lean more towards that in later episodes, but it didn't necessarily feel that way in the first ep. i'm not sure what i'd call it, really. just good television, i suppose.

anyway. am intrigued and will continue watching. the lead actor, john simm, is pretty fantastic. can't wait to see more from him.

there is no point to this post. i just like to mark down, for posterity's sake, when i start watching a new show that has potential to be one of my favorites. plus i know UKers like when we USians get into their tv shows. ;)

I am totally addicted to LoM right now... just starting s2.

So this is refreshingly consistent :-)

Are you watching the first season right now? We caught it last summer on BBCA on demand, which was great- no commericals! I am dying knowing that season 2 just ended and I am not watching it. So... I will soon be watching it. Sorry BBC-A, I can't wait for you any longer!!

Gene is my favorite. It took a couple of eps, but all of a sudden, I was all, OMG Teh Awesome. The actor who plays him, and John Simm, have fantastic chemistry.

john simm is one of my favourite actors ever. i'll watch him in fairly much anything. he has done loads of tv over here.
